The Short and Long of It

So, I am graduating.... finally. I am going to take this as an excuse for reminiscing about the things I have learnt over the past 2 years. One thing I noticed straightaway about this college was the fact that the students seem to have their own language consisting almost entirely of short forms and made-up adjectives. Among my favourites are "frrust" which is short for frustrated, "peace" meaning easily accomplished (also "peaceful", "peace marna"). I like how some people use that in a sentence. For instance, when I was still new to the campus, someone told me a story that began with, "See, I was just sitting there, maarofying peace, when suddenly....". That still cracks me up. Also frrust shows just how frustrated the speaker is, to the extent that they can't even bring themselves to say the whole word.
TP (timepass: ie. something to kill time) and CD (cold drink) are some other short forms that had me confused for a while. I still remember a junior asking me if I needed a "CD" after a match. I thought he was referring to a compact disc, which seemed odd to me because listening to music was the last thing on my mind at the time! :)
"Junta" meaning people, and "Studaapa" which refers to the state of being a stud (stud being self-explanatory) were among the easier ones to understand. Then there were the commonplace things like lappy (laptop), dep (department), huha (roughly translated as big deal). Dosa, apart from being a typical south Indian snack, is also short for Dean of Student Affairs. I sometimes wonder how the poor soul feels about his title. Personally, I know I would hate being called a dosa by anyone, even if it were just an acronym...
